Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

"Kill those three petty thieves!"

"You little thief! Don't try to run away!"

"Damn it, I just took off my pants and I went limp with fear. If I catch you, I'll skin you alive."

Tonight, Kikyo Mountain is bustling with activity. Even late at night, it's like celebrating the New Year. Explosive tags are being used like firecrackers, creating a continuous barrage of explosions.

All the Sand Ninja were furious. Tonight was fine, but then several explosions suddenly occurred, turning the peaceful camp into chaos. The culprits were the three masked men who were fleeing ahead.

Damn it, they had to throw out a few explosive tags to add to the excitement late at night instead of sleeping. Anyone would have been tempted to do that, and so this wolf-and-sheep chase ensued.

"These three guys are running way too fast," one of them said, stopping in his tracks, hands on his knees, panting and wiping away sweat.

"Yeah, that speed is top-tier even among Chunin." Someone stopped beside him, equally out of breath.

"How about we stop chasing them?" the third person suggested.

"No, we don't know what their purpose is yet. We must arrest them and interrogate them," the fourth person analyzed in a deep voice.

"Hey, you four, what are you standing here for? Either go back and keep watch, or keep chasing. What kind of behavior is this, standing here slacking off?" Someone noticed the four guys slacking off and angrily reprimanded them.

The four men exchanged a glance and simultaneously clicked their tongues in disapproval. They then silently gritted their teeth and continued the chase. They weren't stupid; the three men had run away after disturbing the peace, which was definitely suspicious. It was most likely a diversionary tactic. If they went back to guard the area, they might run into trouble. Considering all that, continuing the chase, although tiring, at least guaranteed their safety.

And many people share this idea, which leads to a comical scene where many weaker individuals, despite being unable to catch up, still grit their teeth and try to keep up.

This lack of discipline and responsibility seems unbelievable, but it's actually quite normal. To put it simply: if you had discipline and responsibility, what would be the point of having an ANBU?

Who are the three people being chased? It's hard to guess.

"Tetsuka, we only have one explosive tag left." Uchiha Yatsuho shook the last explosive tag in his hand, looking unsatisfied.

"I have two more," Uchiha Inahisa said, casually tossing one over with a bang. "Now there's only one left."

Uchiha Tetsuka's lips twitched. He glanced at the remaining explosive tags—three left. He looked up and met the expectant eyes of the other two. Without hesitation, he threw two tags at the Sand Ninja chasing after him. The Sand Ninja, who was cursing behind him, waved the explosive tags in his hand and smiled, "I only have one left too."

The two men stared wide-eyed, angrily denouncing Uchiha Tetsuka as a selfish scoundrel.

"Alright, alright, do you really think we're here to play around?" Uchiha Tetsuka rolled his eyes and said irritably.

Upon hearing this, the two stopped their argument. Uchiha Yatsuho scratched his head, "Ku asked us to create a disturbance to lure the Sand Ninja away. Does that count as a success?"

Uchiha Tetsuka glanced back at the large group of people behind him, his lips twitching. "The objective has definitely been achieved. I think what we need to think about is how to get rid of these guys."

"Let them chase us, they can't catch us anyway," the Eighth Hokage said nonchalantly.

That's true. The three of them are strong enough to rival Jonin for a short time. Among the Genin and Chunin following behind, only a very few can catch up with them.

However, anyone who catches up with them will be instantly defeated by the three Sharingan at lightning speed. At the same level, very few people can defeat a three-tomoe Uchiha in a one-on-one fight, let alone three-tomoe. If they encounter one at the same level, they will only be instantly killed.

Uchiha Tetsuka's face darkened, and he said irritably, "Stop joking around. Kikyo Mountain doesn't just have genin and chunin; it also has joinin."

Eight generations remained silent, eight generations pondered, and eight generations suddenly realized.

He slapped his hand suddenly, "That's right."

Uchiha Tetsuka slapped his forehead, speechless at this guy. He thought for a moment...

"We've made enough noise. Find a place to escape. Don't use the remaining explosive tags recklessly. I'll throw them away when I tell you to."

"walk slowly."

……

On Uchiha Sora's side,

The battle reached a fever pitch, with Uchiha Sora unleashing all sorts of protective shuriken, water blasts, lightning strikes, and cyclones with reckless abandon.

However, Pakula's Overheating technique was truly versatile; the fireballs swirling around her could move entirely according to her will, always managing to block the deadly attack at crucial moments.

"Burning Legs!"

The air exploded, and a pair of jade legs engulfed in flames attacked with incredible speed, showing no signs of serious injury.

Caught off guard, Uchiha Sora could only block the attack with his arms.

With a kick, Uchiha Sora was sent flying, sending rubble and dust flying. After a while, Uchiha Sora staggered to his feet, a burn mark left on his arm.

He glanced down at his arm and saw that the spot where he had been kicked was quite shriveled, a sign that the moisture had evaporated.

However… that was enough, he smiled.

Pakula, on the other hand, was pale-faced, and her bandaged abdomen was stained red with blood. The medical ninja had advised her not to engage in strenuous exercise, and it was clear that the fight had aggravated her wounds.

"It seems the difference in skill is already clear," Uchiha Sora said calmly, spitting a Great Fireball onto the Kusanagi sword. Instantly, the black steel Kusanagi sword transformed into a flaming sword, a remarkable application of the Great Fireball Technique.

Pakura remained silent. She hadn't expected Uchiha Sora to be so troublesome, and she couldn't defeat him in such a short time. His difficulty was even greater than that of the ANBU member she had killed.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, but is the relationship between her and Uchiha Sora really that of a camel and a horse?

No, their relationship is more like that of a cheetah and a lion; there are differences, but not as great as one might imagine.

"Pakura, it's time to end this." Uchiha Sora raised his fire sword, and the next moment, three Uchiha Sora appeared.

Pakula's pupils contracted slightly. She had seen this look not long ago, and the price she paid that time was serious injury.

So, what will she have to give up this time?

"I never imagined I'd actually fall into your trap," she said with a self-deprecating laugh. "If I hadn't been injured, you'd be dead by now."

Uchiha Sora did not deny it. There are no "what ifs" in life. If Pakura hadn't been injured, Uzuki Kazunari wouldn't have died. Everything is preordained.

"The Dance of the Crescent Moon".

A light, airy voice echoed. Uchiha Sora could have used the glory of the Uchiha clan, but he didn't. Since he wanted revenge, he hoped to use the techniques "he" had taught him.

With a single slash,

Uchiha Sora frowned slightly because he suddenly felt an invisible force blocking his sword. The next moment, his eyes widened in fury, and he swung his sword again, slicing through the invisible barrier and taking Pakura's life with him.

Ultimately, revenge was sought.
